I'm going to paint some of the metallic flower with Lumiere Grape and Indigo to get her colour scheme right but the pattern is as close as one can get. Random note that the fabric they used for her dress was a limited designer run (sold at Mood Fabric) so I was never going to find it. >_<

I did a little retail therapy today and ended up buying the Pacific Rim Blu-Ray as well as Katy Perry's new album. I might be able to justify the former as cosplay reference if I can find a way to do Newt Geiszler's torso tattoos. (I mean, it fits the monster theme so hey...)

I haven't even listened to the KP album yet though. I've been staring at the photography in the album art to try and figure out how to do her makeup. Seriously, whoever does her eyebrows must be a goddamn sorcerer, because they are always immaculate. O_O

Finally I have some time to work on Luna tomorrow. Hoping to have the skirt properly fitted, and the beading well underway on it, plus the neck trim finally done. Then I have to finish beading, do the fancy hem decor, hem the skirt, sew it to the bodice, put in the zipper, draft, cut, bead and sew the sash/belt, order lipstick and contacts, make the veil for the crown, AND style my wig.
...and I have to get started soon on Quorra 2.0 too. Mostly the hard part of that will be drafting new torso armour.

There's a vibe here that says "We're in this together!Through thick and thin fabric! Through cold water washes and burning hot irons! Though we might super glue ourselves to our projects, cut holes/gashes/oh-god-mom's-gonna-kill-me into the dining room table, we will stand strong together. Unless there is a 75% off sale at the Fabric store. Then you're on your own. And get the hell out of my way."<3

Still slaving away over my black appliques. I completely finished 2 last night with sequins, czech beads, and rhinestones out of 9 the rest have a sequins on and now I'm sewing rows of czech beads on the rest of the areas but I'm getting worried that I won't have even czech beads for the rest of them as I used up 3/4 of one tube on the one applicate. And I have 4 tubes of czech beads. >_<

I am hating the beading for Luna, and I don't even have much to do. I shouldn't have used stretch velvet for a first time beading project. Especially when a stabilizer wouldn't work at all with the design.

Man, I have gotten SO lazy over uploading progress photos, since I keep plugging in the wrong usb cable or losing it. And my camera sucks.
....but yah, looks like I'll be doing a lot of sewing work over Xmas break. Luna's supposed to be done for late February and as it stands, I'm approximately a month behind where I want to be because EVERYTHING has taken at least twice as long as it should. I'm HOPING I can spare enough time this week to finish the beading on the skirt.

... I just booked my hotel room. (Man, I'm lazy/been stupid busy - I meant to do that months ago...)

Suddenly upon doing that..... IT JUST GOT REAL. Nevermind getting my ticket years in advance - Something upon comitting to a crash pad, is making this con a reality.

And I've done.... barely anything.

I have most of the fabric for my Historical Interpretation, a half finished petticoat for the same, and made some pointed remarks on how I was going to steal the parrot feathers from work for another project. That's it.

...How many days left.....?

Umm.... nothing at the moment is being worked on.All creative power diverted to FanExpo Artist's Alley table! Yay! Accessories and such!

Yeek, Luna has hardly been worked on. Not helping is the fact that along with finals coming up, I seem to have come down with a cold/ear infection that makes sitting hunched over the table to bead very unpleasant, and it has to get done before I can move forward with the dress. Maybe tonight I can spare time to finish that darn collar trim, instead.... Regardless, looks like I'll be doing a LOT of work over Xmas break.

OTL, and I haven't even started my Quorra revamp yet. Should have done that a few weeks ago.
